Pakistan and India are on the verge of organizing the Asia Cup 2025. The differences between the two biggest cricket powers in South Asia have not only questioned the hold of the tournament, but the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has also become a dispute in Dhaka on yesterday (Thursday).
The meeting will be chaired by Pakistan Home Minister and PCB President Mohsin Naqvi, who reached Dhaka on Wednesday.
According to media reports, the meeting has been called mainly to decide on the Asia Cup 2025 system, hosting and schedule. However, India’s failure to attend the meeting reminded cricket fans of the 2023 dispute once again.
According to Hindustan Times, the Board of Cricket in India (BCCI) has made it clear that it does not accept the meeting of the meeting in Dhaka and demanding that the ACC meet be taken to a neutral place.

According to Indian media reports, BCCI says that if the location has not been changed, it will refrain from attending the meeting and will not be part of any resolution.
The behavior of the BCCI is trying to political pressure to some analysts, especially at a time when Pakistan is headed by ACC and wants to play an active role in the tournament decisions.
On the other hand, Pakistani officials have called Indian objections irrational, saying that the meeting will be held at the designated place, Dhaka and India should respect the decision.

Pakistan can also propose a hybrid model on the style of 2023, under which India’s matches can be held in the third country, such as the United Arab Emirates or Sri Lanka.
According to Kirkbaaz’s report, there is no clear stand by ACC members like Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, but keeping in mind the Indian influence, their silence is considered important.
It is also likely that if India boycott the meeting, the Asia Cup 2025 may be without or without delay, which can lead to more stress in the region.
After a small military skirmish between Pakistan and India in May, both rivals may face the field of cricket, although the match of former cricketers from both countries was canceled last Sunday at the World Championship of Legends (WCL) in Britain.
According to the cricket website ‘ESPN Kirk Info’, the decision was made after several Indian cricketers including Shakhar Dhawan and Irfan Pathan, which was due to the ‘current political situation and’ tension between the two countries’.
The border tension between the two countries increased after the Phalgam attack in Indian -in -laws in April, which also influenced cricket and temporarily suspended IPL and PSL.
